Kerry Bellessa, a Seattle native, was shaped by his Pacific Northwest upbringing, which instilled in him a lifelong affinity for 1990s grunge music and an enduring expectation that the weather will inevitably turn cloudy.
As a young boy, Bellessa's passion for cinema was evident, and he harbored a deep-seated desire to one day become a filmmaker, crafting stories that would captivate audiences worldwide. This ambition ultimately led him to enroll at The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he earned a degree in Film and Television, laying the groundwork for a successful career in the industry.
Over the course of a decade, Bellessa honed his skills on various film sets, working alongside renowned directors such as David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, Spike Jonze, Cameron Crowe, and Sam Raimi, further refining his craft and building a network of influential contacts.
Bellessa's directorial debut, the found-footage micro-budget film Amber Alert, premiered on Netflix, achieving widespread success and propelling him to the top of the streaming platform's popularity charts, rivalled only by the critically acclaimed series House of Cards.
In October 2021, Bellessa's latest feature film, Immanence, is set to be released, marking another significant milestone in his burgeoning career.
As a devoted husband and father of three, Bellessa prioritizes family above all else, often incorporating his loved ones into his film projects. He co-produces his films alongside his wife, Summer, and cultivates a team of talented individuals who share his passion and commitment to storytelling.
Bellessa's career may have unfolded gradually, but he has already achieved his dream of becoming a respected filmmaker, surrounded by loved ones and dedicated to crafting stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.
